The choice is yours, Senator Merkley

Your bill, S.1803, to limit the scope of the Fed audit (House Resolution 1207) runs counter to the welfare of this great nation. I believe the Federal Reserve is largely responsible for the sorry state of affairs in this country. Fed policies have caused numerous bubbles and busts, rampant inflation and a severe deterioration in the American standard of living.

How will limiting the scope of a much-needed audit benefit the American people? The Fed's goal is to maintain secrecy at all costs, and this penchant toward secrecy correlates directly with the unbridled power they now enjoy, courtesy of the Congress.

Do you want to truly work for America and get at the heart of the matter, or throw another Band-Aid on the situation, continue to ignore the elephant in the room, and continue our rapid descent toward oblivion?
